European Free Trade Agreement could mean New Markets for Cavendish Farms. Cavendish Farms is a proud Canadian firm – our largest operations are right here on Prince Edward Island. We employ over 730 Islanders at the two plants in New Annan, and we work with 85 growers.
Each year we are purchasing over $145 million in goods and services from businesses located on the Island. That’s why we strongly support the federal government’s efforts to expand markets around the world, including in the European Union. Read the federal government’s press release "Benefits for Prince Edward Island of a Potential Canada-EU Trade Agreement". From this Island, we proudly export to more than 40 countries in the Caribbean, Latin America, Middle East, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand - but unfortunately, not to the 27 countries of the European Union. Currently exports of our potato products to Europe are challenged by a 14 percent duty, and trade has been very limited.

NEW ANNAN (PE) – June 12, 2012 – Cavendish Farms celebrated the official opening of its natural gas receiving station at a ceremony held at the New Annan site today. The successful implementation of this leading-edge natural gas system generates thermal energy which fuels the company’s potato processing plants and eliminates the use of 22 million litres of heavy fuel oil annually.
“Cavendish Farms is making huge strides in the area of sustainability and our move into the compressed natural gas arena supports our continued efforts to reduce the environmental impacts of our operations in Prince Edward Island”, said Robert Irving, President of Cavendish Farms. “Our fuel mix in New Annan is now 70% natural gas and 30% biogas, with heavy oil now only used as a back-up fuel source. Combined with our investment in our biogas facility, we’ve now achieved a net reduction of 50% in our greenhouse gas emissions.” About Cavendish Farms – Cavendish Farms is a division of J.D.
